So, why aren’t we consuming the stuff by the gallon? Well, basically, the quantity of resveratrol you’d need to enjoy these benefits is far larger than the amount you can actually consume per serving – until now.

Apparently, scientists are getting closer to developing a pill that has the equivalent levels of resveratrol in it as 1,000 bottles of shiraz (or merlot, whatever your preference might be) which will “mimic the synergistic effect that is found in a glass of red wine without the negative effects of alcohol.”

FYI, before you aggesively Google a local stockist, it doesn’t quite exist yet, but with no hangover and potential carpet stains to speak of, it would be great if someone could gently point us in the direction of a waiting list, thanks.
